The latest annual report on the state of global human rights from Human Rights Watch presents a grim outlook for democracy and LGBTQ+ rights around the world.
Central to that assessment: the Trump administration.
“The global human rights system is in peril,” writes Philippe Bolopion, Executive Director of Human Rights Watch, in the report’s introduction.
“Under relentless pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump, and persistently undermined by China and Russia, the rules-based international order is being crushed, threatening to take with it the architecture human rights defenders have come to rely on to advance norms and protect freedoms,” the report states.
Our rights and public acceptance throughout history have come in waves, peaks and troughs. We hit a peak about 15 years ago and have been sliding into a trough since. We will soon see who our real allies are, and it’s never the ones you’d expect.
